Advantages• The qualities and advantages of Waterlox wood-finishing products are widely

recognized within the wood flooring industry. From architects to contractors, manufacturers to distributors, people everywhere recommend and use Waterlox to achieve a completely natural, thoroughly protective, and richly old-world look. Waterlox Advantages:

• Unique blend of Tung oil and resin penetrates deeper and seals wood fibers beneath the surface. Provides a natural-looking protective finish that won’t chip, peel, crack, or wrinkle. Stain can be added to Waterlox, thus eliminating time-consuming steps. Locks out water and damage from spills, including alcohol, coffee, tea, and household chemicals. Gives a rich, hand-rubbed look that enhances the grain. Goes on easily with a lambs wool applicator or brush – no sanding between coats for adhesion purposes. Touch-ups can be done at any time. Just apply more Waterlox. Sanding down to bare wood is not required. Cleans easily with most available cleaners.

Why use Waterlox instead of Urethane

• This is a question that comes up often, since there are so many urethane products in the marketplace.  Just so you know that we are not completely biased we also happen to manufacture a couple of excellent urethane products; but if you are choosing a finish for your fine wood floors, you are probably concerned about 3 important issues:  Beauty,  Durability, and  Ease of application.  We think that when you consider all 3, you’ll choose a  Waterlox Tung Oil Floor Finish.

• Waterlox Tung oil floor finishes give a rich, hand-rubbed patina that enhances the grain. Unlike urethanes that have a “sheet of plastic” appearance and lie on top of the wood surface, Waterlox finishes penetrate deep into the wood pores forming a bond from within. This penetrating feature gives the wood an “open pore” appearance that is desired by many people seeking a natural-looking wood surface.

Durability

• There is a misconception that urethanes are the most durable surface available for wood floors. Well, there are a couple of ways to define DURABLE.... Waterlox forms an elastic, protective finish that won’t chip, peel, crack, or wrinkle.  While urethanes are slightly harder than our Tung oil/resin finishes, Waterlox retains a tough yet elastic surface that “gives” with the blows of everyday life. Because our finishes penetrate into your wood floors, when scratches or wear areas do occur, they are far less noticeable than with a urethane finish that simply lies on the surface. If noticeable scratches occur, all you need to do is clean the damaged area well with soap and water and then reapply a new coat where needed. No need to sand down to bare wood or refinish the entire floor. 

Ease of Application• Waterlox is easier to apply than urethanes.  Our finishes have a longer “open time”

meaning they stay workable longer than waterborne or oil-based urethanes. Waterlox is also self-leveling:  lap marks, turns, and cut-ins disappear. Stain can be added to Waterlox, thus eliminating time-consuming steps, and, unlike urethanes, you never have to sand or screen between coats for adhesion purposes.  

• An amateur can achieve professional looking results using Waterlox.  Even if you are considering hiring a contractor to sand and refinish your floors, years from now when your floors need to be refreshed, the job will be quicker, easier, less expensive, and without the mess of having to sand down to bare wood.

• Given the facts, we don’t think that you’d be crazy to choose a urethane finish for your floors…we just think that you’d be wise to choose a Waterlox Tung Oil Floor Finish
